To be fair, there actually is the potential of a clever plot in The Bat™. If you squint. And it were written by Agatha Christie or Edmund Crispin. #monsterdon

The Doctor is also the coroner? AND a murderer? Conflict of interest much? #monsterdon

Do you think The Bat got "THE" and "BAT" tattooed on his left and right hands, respectively? #monsterdon

I'm now 38% positive this film inspired Twin Peaks. #monsterdon

Replying to

@dedicto@zeroes.ca I really miss the "Do No Evil" era of Google.

Heck yeah! Expert throwing of...what was that? A fireplace poker? Cane? Regardless, well done! #monsterdon

Why does Christopher Lee look younger in this than in any prior film? Is it because he is actually a vampire? Make-up? Lighting? (That last one is laughable, considering how this movie is lit.) #monsterdon

I like to imagine Vincent Price just brought his own pet bats for this shoot. #monsterdon

The title and blot sound like a mystery/horror, but the music sounds like HUMOR? I'm thematically confused. #monsterdon

Vincent Price's narration is giving me "theatrical release of Blade Runner" vibes. #monsterdon

Did they just slap a bed in one of the jail cells from Planet of the Apes? #monsterdon

Vincent Price shoots a guy? I'm shocked! SHOCKED! Well not that shocked. (To quote Fry.) #monsterdon

Anytime I see Vincent Price in anything now, I am reminded of this excellent Simpsons bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O46YvZQNqs #monsterdon

I've seen enough early cartoon shorts to know that hole means only one thing: a mouse sleeping in a matchbox makes a nice home there! #monsterdon

Looking behind the blueprint is this movie's equivalent of them finally looking behind that poster in Shawshank. #monsterdon

I was checking to see if one of my Plex servers had The Bat (1959) on it, and LO AND BEHOLD it is actually airing tomorrow on our OTA Movies! station! Not in time for #monsterdon , but still pretty timely.

Silly question for my fellow #Monsterdon -ites, but has anyone put together a viewing platform with the film on the left and a sidebar of the Monsterdon hashtag feed on the right (or vice versa)?
